Questions & Answers about Todos votaron en la junta.

Why does the sentence start with todos? Does it mean all or everyone?

Here todos is being used as a pronoun, and it means everyone / all of them.

In English, we often say everyone voted. In Spanish, todos votaron is a very natural way to say that.

A few useful notes:

• todos = a mixed group or a group of males, or a general group when gender is not specified
• todas = an all-female group

So if the group were only women, you would say Todas votaron en la junta.

Why is it todos and not todo?

Because todo and todos do different jobs.

• todo = everything or whole
• todos = everyone / all (people)

So:

• Todo salió bien = Everything went well
• Todos votaron = Everyone voted

Since the sentence is talking about people, todos is the correct form.
